well rear is done....starting front....ill make a post with all the pics tonight.


fox's are money pits......i had to go buy a couple tools and now a battery and got a used alt while i was her (shiity 70a) just so i could pull out of garage :madashell:

[J-rod]

well i got the rear done and was upset it sat soooo high....but after thinking about it, was really too low to begin with...so now it sits nice.


the front is crap!! someone put the wrong DAMN STRUTS on there and we cant get them out of the fenderwell to install the new springs...further more the bolts are wayyy too tight and rounded so i couldnt do anything to the front.

i now will be taking it to a shop to have struts and springs and alignment done. :madashell:

i did get my tires installed....

and another ball buster..... woke up this morning to a dead battery.....installed new battery and now the alt is fried....almost killed new battery....so im stranded in parkersburg until i go get a shitty 75a alt from advance in the morning. (however would a amp from my bro's wrecked t-bird fit? its same motor as 94-98 v6 mustangs :dunno:)

soooooo whoever said welcome to the money pit......fvck you....you're right!!!!

:lol:

and i really miss my wife and son. :(

i dont know when or who did it but these arent fox struts...they are in fact beating the shiit out of my hood. we noticed this when wick worked on my car.

the rear feels good now....front is poop. but i hope to get it fixed monday or tuesday. got to buy an alt tomorrow now so i can get home.

this car has some major plans over the next twelve months....but that is a post for another day. :yes:

here are some pics my dad sent me tonight.

#1 - new shocks and LMM springs. (old quad shocks still need removed but the bolt at the bracket on housing wont budge with hand tools. yes ed we used a 3' breaker bar and lead pipe....but its so tight i lifted the car off the jack stands trying to break it loose.)

#2 - new parts with old parts sitting beside.

#3 - random car in garage pic

#4 & #5 is rear end done

#6 - previous rear with eibach's


:dunno:

Impact gun. Mine were the same on my 88. I couldn't budge them with hand tools and a pipe!
